CGI.pm is a resource waster and the code looks a bit scary, but it seems 
to be quite an axiom, probably because it has the most desirable 
namespace. :)

CGI::Minimal is a nice drop-in replacement for CGI.pm param extraction 
(similar syntax), and HTTP::Headers could be used for, uh, HTTP headers. 
Both are relatively fast and lightweight. Arguably, headers aren't that 
hard to conjure by hand.
